Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Occupational Pensions.


Occupational Pensions

The Secretary of State has given the impression today that not only was there no Government maladministration, but that there seems to be no recognition of the scale of the problem faced by many people, including my constituents and those of my hon. Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mike Penning), who used to work at Dexion. Does the Secretary of State accept that the stance that the Government are taking will damage confidence in occupational pensions and weaken the parliamentary ombudsman, and that it gives the impression that the Government are out of touch, arrogant and uncaring?
